Erkenntnis, 1978
AbstractArgues for postulating an inner ‘language’ in which thinking takes place, and proposes a means by which this postulate can be construed on functionalist lines.

Mental Rotation, Mental Representation, and Flat Slopes

This literature has spawned several theories of mental representation.
